For retired library assistant Pat Guntrip, the blockbuster weight-loss jab Ozempic has been truly life-changing. For retired library assistant Pat Guntrip, 77, the blockbuster weight-loss jab Ozempic has been truly life-changing But she fears the improvements to her health may soon be lost due to a shortage of the drug that's left many diabetes patients unable to get Ozempic on the NHS. Instead, her diabetes nurse has been busy trying to source supplies of a similar drug — made with the same active component — to stop Pat's blood sugar levels from spiralling out of control. It's something of a gamble: there's no way of knowing if she will respond to those drugs as well as she has to Ozempic — and to make sure she doesn't suffer intolerable side-effects, she has to be started on a low dose, that's then increased over weeks or even months to the full amount, potentially putting her at risk of high blood sugar readings in the meantime. Ozempic and its sister drug Wegovy are so popular among those who don't have diabetes but are looking to lose a few pounds, that a surge in private online sales has left the NHS short of stock for patients whose health depends upon them Ozempic has been approved for use in the UK for diabetes since 2019, as it has been shown to reduce spikes in blood sugar levels in patients who have failed to respond to other drugs.
